Whoahh!! Massive rockfall in Chamba, Himachal Pradesh, India. A huge section of rock beside the Bagheigadh–Changju road gave way in seconds, blocking the route with debris. Locals spotted smaller falls earlier and stopped traffic just in time, preventing a major tragedy.

Cool study that uses acoustic signals recorded at seismic sensors to identify aircraft type flying overhead (different aircraft have different frequency signatures). Alaska provides a lot of aircraft variety to evaluate. ⚒️🧪🚁 pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/tsr/arti...
a. Seismogram from one of the seismic sensors (largest signal is an earthquake). b. Residual spectrogram (difference between the spectrogram and the amplitude spectrum (red line at left). Curves overlain with dashed lines are the aircraft signal. The broad/smeared signal at lower frequencies is from an earthquake. c. Aircraft that made the signal, a Cessna 185. d. Flight pattern for the aircraft (blue) and locations of seismic sensors (red). Cross section of the residual spectrum along dashed line in b, large signal near beginning is from an earthquake.

As many other folks have posted, the Civil War in Myanmar and govt control of media access could be one reason we don’t see much info coming out of country. The other possible cause is that infrastructure and population was affected so severely it broke many communication channels.

Initial reports for the #Myanmar #earthquake suggest a shallow, mw=7.7 event. This is going to be extremely serious - almost a direct hit on Mandalay (population of 1.2 million), plus many other villages in the area. The population has high vulnerability. A major international response is vital.

Something like 1300-1400 km between the epicenter of the earthquake (Mandalay, Myanmar) and where this video was shot. Highrise buildings are more sensitive to low frequency seismic waves that travel for long distances, so are more likely to be damaged far from an earthquake's epicenter.
